Tens of millions of people around the world have transitioned from software-based email and personal productivity tools to powerful web-based applications like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar and Google Sites. Over the last couple years, businesses have been making the switch to our hosted solutions too, putting complex, expensive on-premises IT systems in the past. With Google Apps, employees are equipped with work productivity tools that they can access from anywhere, that provide enough email storage to keep everything important, and that enable more natural collaboration like document sharing without the hassles of attachments and integrated voice and video chat.

More than a million businesses have moved to Google Apps, and Valeo – an auto parts manufacturer with 30,000 Internet-connected employees in 27 different countries – has joined the movement. You can read more about Google Apps and their deployment on the Google Blog and in Valeo's own announcement.
